The above is a discussion thread about this incident. I found that all the videos related to this incident were created by a pseudoscientific technology company called "Germany Company" as part of a fake viral marketing campaign.

For example, in this clip from their latest video on their YouTube homepage, the "laboratory" backdrop directly has their company logo printed on it:

It's really funny how the researchers are wearing cheap and unprofessional protective gear, and there's a red wire casually connected from a DC power supply on the table to a metal clamp, along with an IPS screen oscilloscope in hand, a device that looks like a soldering iron, and the whole setup looks more like an electronics workshop:

Also here, an employee wearing a shirt with the company's logo is using a blowtorch to barbecue the "Bates ball" without wearing protective clothing:

It can be confirmed that the whole incident is a case of commercial viral marketing, but I want to figure out how those flying spheres in several of his videos were actually made. In the first video, the movement of the sphere looks very much like someone is pulling it from below with a fishing line, and the subsequent flying state seems to be swaying due to the influence of the wind

However, the brief descent and hovering action of the sphere in the second video looks very much like a drone (spherical drone)

And the movement trajectory in this video also resembles that of a drone.

Although I haven't found spherical drones with smooth surfaces, I did find some related videos:

However, the sphere in the video seems smoother and does not have the ventilation holes typical of spherical drones. So now I'm not very sure whether that thing is a balloon or a drone, and how it was done?

It is possible that if the metal balls are suspended by drones, their own weight would indeed prevent them from swaying excessively like balloons

 

[Ravi]

Obviously the sphere in the lab is not the same sphere as can be seen "flying". Why would it?
The "lab" is indeed hysterically nonsensical. You would imagine that people that are hoaxing everything at least try to make it look real, but not in this case.

 

[JMartJr]

It could certainly be hefted under a drone, but I'm not seeing anything that makes me say "can't be a balloon." And balloons are cheaper.

Making it look real may not be the goal of a viral marketing campaign -- getting it talked about is more the point. To that end, getting it argued about might be seen as a better way to go, and leaving bits to support "it's fake" in the mix provides ammo for argument.

Always fun to look into the background for stuff like this. According to the German Company YouTube channel they have something to do with metal detecting:

Welcome to the adventure underground!
In this channel we explore the fascinating world of metal detectors, putting the best equipment to the test in real field tests. Comparisons, demonstrations, tips, and incredible findings that you can't miss.
If you're passionate about detection, hidden treasures, and the technology behind every quest, this is the place for you. Subscribe and join the most curious search engine community on YouTube!

There is a link to their webpage where one can buy various metal detecting devices. I'm not a metal detector guy, but these all appear to be proprietary units with some really cool graphics:

Searching along one can find a Faran P3000 with Rotating Antenna. Note it combines technology and dowsing:

Personally, I think I'd opt for the "style" and "sophistication" of the dowser bracelet:

https://germanycompany.co/tienda-2/


I'm betting I could join up with Skywatcher if I brought this bit of kit along. Just for comparrison, here is a random page on an American metal detector supplier with various brands. None of them really resemble the Faraon P3000 or Dowser Bracelet:

What will be interesting is to see if Germany Detectors begins to incorporate alien technology learned from Germany Company Laboratories in future dowsing-detector hybrids. That certainly wouldn't be novel, the supposed Aztec, AZ UFO incident turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by some guy trying to sell "doodlebugs", oil detection devices infused with alien technology.

Always fun to look into the background for stuff like this. According to the German Company YouTube channel they have something to do with metal detecting:

They claim

state-of-the-art technology with the precision of dowsing

Considering what we know about "dowsing", that sounds like more of a disclaimer than an actual ad campaign. It's saying "Step right up, you gullible people, and give us money for our gizmo!"

Edit to add: "Give us a LOT of money for our gizmo", if I read those prices correctly. However a Colombian peso is essentially worthless, so that "$1500000" comes out to about $350 in US dollars at the moment.

 

[MyMatesBrainwashed]

Note it combines technology and dowsing:

"with the precision of dowsing" is a beauty.

Really comes across as a metal detector that doesn't detect metal.

 

[Starflint]

Looks like a light metal ball suspended on a string attached to a drone.

I noticed an issue: the ball weighs 9.9 kilograms, and currently, among DJI's consumer drones, there is no model capable of easily lifting and flying with a 9.9-kilogram payload.

DJI's consumer drones (such as the Mavic series, Air series, Mini series) are mainly designed for aerial photography and light tasks, with a maximum payload capacity usually below 0.5 kilograms, which is far from enough to carry a 9.9-kilogram load. Although DJI's agricultural drone series (such as the Agras MG-1P) has a higher payload capacity, the MG-1P's standard takeoff weight is 23.8 kilograms, with a maximum takeoff weight of 24.8 kilograms.

However, its own weight is about 9.8 kilograms, and after adding the battery and other equipment, the space left for effective payload is limited, making it difficult to safely carry an additional 9.9-kilogram load. For tasks requiring carrying a 9.9-kilogram load, it is recommended to consider industrial drones designed for heavy loads, such as DJI's Matrice 600 series. The Matrice 600 is equipped with a powerful propulsion system and flight controller, capable of carrying an effective payload of up to 13 pounds (about 5.9 kilograms), and its payload capacity can be further increased through upgrades.

However, even the Matrice 600 may not be able to safely carry a 9.9-kilogram load. If the task truly requires carrying a load of 9.9 kilograms, a customized industrial drone solution might need to be considered, which could be too costly for a fake team that is unwilling to even properly set up a "laboratory" shooting prop. Of course, unless they are renting it...

If you use a kite reel with thin kite string, a person standing far enough below the valley can occasionally let a helium balloon drift freely within a certain distance range with the low-altitude airflow, like flying a kite, and appropriately pull and tug it to achieve a similar effect. But from a cost perspective, the possibility of the "kite balloon" theory seems greater.

You're assuming the ball on the scales is the same one that was flying through the air, or that they haven't put some weights inside before weighing.

There is indeed such a possibility; perhaps what is hanging is a PVC yoga ball of the same size, or a sphere made of any material that is neither too light nor heavy enough to require a large drone

The footage is likely staged as a publicity stunt to create hype about some Metal Detectors, as you pointed out in the OP. At the very least, it creates buzz that might attract those interested in fringe things like UFOs, the paranormal and other beliefs that also align with dowsing. They don't appear to be selling normal metal detectors, rather some sort of detector-dowsing hybrids of their own design.

They may wait a bit and gauge reaction to their video. If there is enough positive interest from the target audience, I wouldn't be surprised to see future detector-dowsing hybrids infused with alien technology on their website.

As for drones, I doubt one is even needed. Most of the footage is purposely shaky, random and sketchy quality, but most of it looks like a simple balloon. There is a helium balloon just rising. Then there is one descending, possibly with some weights on it or it was hit with a pellet gun.

You can scrub back and forth with a YouTube video frame by frame using the < > keys after pausing. Note that the descending balloon starts to go behind some brush:

Then a few frames later, the camera operator completely loses the balloon as they pan down and screen left:

When the operator gets back on the balloon, it's now moving screen left:

Not saying it's 2 different balloons, but it's possible. It could be a very light weight ball under a drone, but whenever an object is "lost" on the video and then does something different when it's reacquired, there is the possibility of manipulation. In fact, as the camera is wildly moving down and to screen left, this frame is exactly the same for 3 frames in a row with zero movement:

After 3 of the same motionless frames, it looks like this as the camera starts moving again:

So, as the camera is moving all over the place, having lost the object the operator managed for 3 frames to be completely motionless and hold the camera absolutely still, before once again moving it around wildly. Or something is going on and some sort of manipulation is taking place.

EDIT: The back and forth between the silver ball in the lab and the video of the silver object reenforces to the viewer that they are the same object, when they likely are not and don't have to be.

 

[NorCal Dave]

Looking at it more, does anyone get the vibe that footage is sped up? There are all these flickers or artifacts in the trees when the object floats over the city scape, but it's all seems to happen really fast:

Watch it a .50 speed and it really looks like a balloon drifting along. The bird fly byes seem more normal as does the scene over the city. One can also see the various jump cuts. I think they filmed some slow-moving balloons with the camera on a tripod mimicking the handheld movements slowly. The camera then paned over to the brush, where it was locked down while they changed or fixed the balloon, then they resumed filming and started moving it again.

Everything was then sped up to make it look like the object is moving along at a good clip and the camera is trying to keep up. Maybe some postproduction movements were added as well.

Anybody have video image stabilization software? That video camera is being waved around at an absurdly rapid place, how could the operator keep track of the object they are filming? It would be easier to see motion of background objects like trees and vehicles if the camera was not being waved around so much.

There are so many ways to fake video like this today. A lighter than air baloon being towed around by someone on the ground, or tethered to a drone that is towing it around. A heavier than air object suspenced from a drone. Or just an object thrown into the air and the video of its flight greatly slowed down.

No interest in this from the local or national government? Nobody thought to ask them if they were interested?

I tried watching it at 1/4 speed, and I could clearly see that the flickering is all over; it is just more apparent in the trees because they are the darkest objects. I even see it all over the sky when they pan up. I don't understand it at all. Is it just a superimposed special effect meant to make it look older or "arty", something like that? (Either that or the cameraman is being attacked by a serious infestation of locusts. ) I see no reason for it.

The lab photos remind me of this classic internet meme.

"Yep it's a metal ball"

 

[Dave Beaty]

My next project is to attempt to fly a balloon and a beach ball with my drone. I plan on attaching these objects with a length of monofilament fishing line. In my ad hoc experiment, I'll try to reproduce the environment a hoaxer may use and techniques that they would employ. Namely just "winging it". That is not really having much of a plan besides the obvious. Creating a silver flying ball. In my first attempt I think I'll try the inflatable silver beach ball. It weighs much less than the recommended payload wieght for my DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone.

The length of monofilament line is debatable - enough to either hide the drone in the video, or simply make it easy to remove in post production editing. I think I'll just make it long enough to hide the drone above the camera frame. What do you think 100 feet? or more? I'll post more once this plan comes together. I have the balls on order. I'm going to use a 12 inch plastic ball. It's already silver so that part's done. Attaching the ball to the drone is a question. Maybe at the valve or maybe with duct tape.

 

[NorCal Dave]

Maybe at the valve or maybe with duct tape.

Maybe try super gluing a loop of fishing line. A dab of glue with line in it, then another dab with the line in it so that the line between the dabs forms an upside down "U" loop. You can then attach you long line from the drone to the loop.

 

[NorCal Dave]

The lab photos

Gotta love the "lab" these guys have that helps "scientists discover what's inside this mysterious sphere". Given that it's likely a marketing video, this is probably the workshop these guys build their dubious detector-dowser hybrid units in. It's so comical, it's still fun to look at it:

Not exactly a clean room. As pointed out by @Starflint, the "scientists" are wearing cheap Tyvek bunny suits, ill-fitting gloves and cheap disposable face shields. On the bench they have a soldering iron, which is useful for building fake dowsing equipment, but not testing UFOs. Then there is the large chunk of whatever the ball is sitting on. It looks like a rusted piece from a large metal lathe. They've got their logo banner up, then some shit-box storage containers and random stuff on the wall in the background.

Do you think that would be strong enough of a bond on the plastic of a beach ball? I've had superglue peel off some plastic surfaces with a smooth texture. I'm thinking the beachball will have a plastic plug that has a little loop in it. Tie the line to that. No way it's going to come off. I don't know how many feet above the "suspect" video is shown? But a white sky would be easy to erase a drone in post.

The cast iron thing looks like an industrial burner of some sort. Or a brake cylinder from a truck.

Had to look into this when learning to kit-bash a model spaceship for my daughter... well, that's all not relevant... the upshot is, super glue (cyanoacrylate)bomds weakly to a lot of plastics. However, Google says beach balls tend to be made out of PVC (which surprises me) and while PVC does not bond great with PVC, it forms a bond that is probably enough for your purposes. I'd stay awat from PVC cement, as it works by melting the plastic, which might make a mess! Of course, you can always tie to the valve:

Or get you a punching ball!

 

[Starflint]

Are you referring to the base under the metal ball? If it's that thing, it's just a chuck on a lathe, called a "four-jaw chuck," made entirely of metal with no circuits at all, so it can't conduct electricity. That's why it's really funny that they plugged two wires into it in the picturehttps://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=four-jaw+chuck

I think you could weave a simple net bag with fine fishing line to catch the ball, it's not visible in the video either

 

[Starflint]

I believe all the devices on the desk are necessary equipment used by their company to make metal detectors, and that soldering iron is probably used to create these solder joints：

I hadn't really considered the possibility that the video was sped up before, but I found that this video was obviously severely cropped and zoomed in, which caused the noise in the image to be very obvious. They also released a better version:

Also, it is precisely this video that makes me think that the sphere hovering back and forth over so many complex streets would be a huge challenge for anyone possibly pulling it from below. Additionally, I think there is a very obvious doubt: the three best quality videos they have released so far (with a 1:1 aspect ratio) must have been cropped from the usual 9:16 or 3:4 aspect ratio footage. So, since they can publicly show videos of the sphere, why not release the uncropped footage showing the top and bottom parts? I believe the parts that were cropped out might just reveal some flaws.

While I don't know if the inflatable silver plastic ball I ordered has a valve like your pic, I hope it does. Otherwise I'm trying cyanoacrylate Superglue. I like the idea of punching balls. Anything that is easy. I keep thinking of the San Diego "sphere". Remember that one? I swear it was a balloon spray painted silver with a piece of black duct tape and some balsa dowels glued around the circumference. San Diego Sphere

I've had luck with just wrapping tape around an inflatable cow that hangs under an inflated UFO at Halloween, string against the balloon, then once around with the tape, then tie the strig so that the string is tied around the tape. Works well.

If the description is not clear message me and I'll sketch it.

I would bet pretty much everything that one was a balloon. I had not thought of it as being purpose made, I always assumed somebody down in the valley was test-flying a tethered advertising balloon, and somebody up the hill happened to see it... it moves exactly like a balloon on a tether, being pushed by the wind, and then reeled down.

If you don't know the size of the sphere, it could be a lot closer than you think.

It can be confirmed that the whole incident is a case of commercial viral marketing, but I want to figure out how those flying spheres in several of his videos were actually made. In the first video, the movement of the sphere looks very much like someone is pulling it from below with a fishing line, and the subsequent flying state seems to be swaying due to the influence of the wind

One thing I noticed in the video just under this text is that there are cuts to the video, like at 00:47 and another at 00:52, but the audio is continuous. There is a very loud cricket sound that doesn't change intensity or pop as would be expected when you cut the video without messing with the sound. This meansthat the cricket sound (maybe the whole audio track) was either added in post, or they used the audio track from a single recording over the other videos when editing it.
Maybe they added the cricket sound in post to mask the drone sound, which would probably be audible.
Maybe the whole audio track with comentary was recorded after the fact and the cricket sound was added from a "nature sounds package" to make it sound like more natural.

Either way, the audio track in that section of video doesn't change when the recording being shown changes.

 

[NorCal Dave]

They also released a better version:

This is better?! Seems the standard UFO tactic of crappy, compressed, multi-generational video in a world of handheld 4K phones.

 

[Ann K]

For example, in this clip from their latest video on their YouTube homepage, the "laboratory" backdrop directly has their company logo printed on it:

That video now displays only the company logo and the message "Members only content. This video is not available".

Did our debunking scare them off?

 

[NorCal Dave]

They also released a better version:

Looking at this again, another possibility is that the balloon is closer to the camera than we think, as mentioned by @Mendel, giving the illusion that it's over the city. It's actually between the camera and the city in the distance. The back and forth makes me think it's tied to a bicycle or a motorcycle that is out of frame, or even below the rise the camera person is standing on. The guy on the bike is riding back and forth towing the balloon in front of the city scape behind it so it looks like it's over the city.

It seems to go screen left and then turn back right at the same place. Like it's the end of whatever trail or road the bike is on. I'll check out Buga on the map when I get some more time.

- Part of the audio we first hear at 0:28 is cloned & repeated at 0:46, 1:26, 1:31 & 1:58. It sounds like a female speaking briefly in the background and each time it's heard it pans from right to left identically. Its 100% the same audio clip being repeated, 5 times in total. It appears to me to be clearly on a separate audio track to the crickets and the main female narration.
- The overall audio track definitely doesn't match the video we're watching because it seamlessly continues despite multiple camera jump-cuts.

If one smokes DMT and looks at the sphere through a laser, perhaps the graphics can be translated into some Earth language.

If the story wasn't smelly before, it seems our good friend Maussan is now involved.

A new trait the ball seems to have is that water instantly evaporates when it comes into contact with the ball (11:17), which they demonstrate by pouring water out of a plastic cup and some steam being released upon contact (completely ignoring that a bunch of water isn't evaporating)

Also interesting that they touch the sphere to show it's not hot after water evaporates (instead of using any sensible way to measure temperature), but they don't show a video of someone touching the sphere with their hand after blasting it with the blowtorch which would be somewhat more interesting.

I haven't seen the whole video (and it is in Spanish), maybe I'll watch it entirely in the weekend, but it just seems like a recap of the information that has been discussed here for the most part.
